Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • Errors thrown when opening files: "could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I have a user on our network that recently had Photoshop CS5 reinstalled. Now when she opens .psd files she is notified to "Update the text layers" on the document. If you press "Update" the error "could not complete your request because of a program error" is thrown. If she clicks "no" then she can't properly edit the text layers on the files. I have reset her preferences files and run the font test script with no luck on either.

    There is likely a font on that system that's corrupted or for some reason Photoshop just can't deal with.  Fonts are complex things, and it's well known that bad fonts can crash applications.
    Ferreting out such a font is normally a matter of removing all but the default fonts, seeing that the problem is corrected, then adding the fonts back in systematically until the offender is isolated.  Yes, this can be tedious.
    If it's not a font problem, there's a possibility it's a display driver problem.  To help diagnose that, go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, disable OpenGL Drawing, then restart Photoshop.  If the problem goes away, you'll want to check the web site of the maker of the video card for driver updates.  Don't forget to re-enable OpenGL Drawing again after updating the driver.
    Good luck.

  • When opening a file in Photoshop CC I get 'Could not complete your request because of a program error.'

    I can see this is a generic error message('Could not complete your request because of a program error.') and I have done my best to read through many of the responses.
    It occurs on the second, third, or sometimes fourth file that I try to 'Open', however I can still use the 'Open With' command through Finder.
    I have tried resetting the preferences as per Julieanne Kost's recommendations, I have reinstalled Photoshop CC 2014, Generator isn't turned on, I don't have any Third-Party plug-ins loaded, I have tried running it in Safe mode, and I have reset my iMac's PRAM.
    Photoshop doesn't appear to be writing a PSErrorLog.txt file?   (~/Library/Preferences/Photoshop CC Settings/PSErrorLog.txt)
    I haven't had any other issues.
    I am running Photoshop on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
    Please can you help me?

    Does anyone have any other ideas as this is very frustrating.
    Thanks,

  • Can't open file: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I have a Photoshop file that suddenly won't open.  Last week I upgraded to CS5--the file had been created in CS3 prior to that.  When I try to open it, I receive this error message (in CS5): "Could not complete your request because of a program error."  I tried to open the same file in CS3; there, the file opens, but as soon as I try to do anything I get the same error message....which, annoyingly, re-appears the second I click "OK," so the only thing I can do in CS3 is force-quit.
    I've used Time Machine to retrieve versions of the file that were saved four days ago, seven days, and several weeks ago, and I get the same message every time.  Even on versions that were last saved with CS3 (before I installed CS5).
    Naturally, this is one of the most important files in my life right now....it's a 300 MB file that contains hundreds of layers and dozens of comps.  So the fact that I suddenly can't open it, after shelling out $1200 to upgrade to the latest and greatest Adobe has to offer, is, to say the least, distressing.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    First thing I would do is investigate hard drive issues and the health of the OS.

  • Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".

    this was supplied by Ann Shelbourne.
    Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    These files will often open in Photoshop 7.0.1 or in CS1 but not in CS2.
    The trouble may be caused by bad dates in the EXIF data and can originate from an incorrectly-programmed digital camera; or from a scan that was created after after Jan1 of this year (because of a known bug in some scanner software).
    If someone runs into the "Could not complete your request because of a program error" problem, and does not have CS1, try opening the Tiff in TextEdit.
    The EXIF data is right at the top. Check the EXIF data for bad creation dates and change any incorrect ones there.
    Save and close; and then the file will probably open in CS2 without a murmur.

    > If iPhoto causes problems why not open the images from the Finder?
    I get the error if I open a file from within iPhoto using "OPen in external editor" and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.
    I get the error if I do "Show file" in iPhoto to see the file in the Finder. Then, if I double-click and it opens in PS, and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.
    > And with »save it anywhere« You indicate that You use the Save As-command?
    Right.

    Does Save As-work?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • When I click on Define Custom Shape, I get an error message: "could not complete your request because of a program error."

    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014. When I click on Define Custom Shape, there is an error box that says "could not complete your request because of a program error."  How can I solve this problem or work around it? I've looked on the internet for answers but could find no solutions to this. The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!

    Consider resetting the Pen tool by right clicking here
    and if that doesn't solve the problem a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
    To reset Preferences:
    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
    A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.
    By the way, if "The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!" have you considered Illustrator?

  • Opening psd file in Photoshop coming up with "could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I spent roughly 6 hours on a (motion) project in Photoshop, saved as psd, and now every time I try to open it, it comes up with "could not complete your request because of a program error". This really annoys me, for one, it DOESN'T TELL ME WHAT ERROR! How can I get help from Adobe if they have no clue what error it is?
    I'm running windows 8.1  64 bit
    I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud
    I've tried everything people say to do, but nobody else but me seems to be using Photoshop for video editing. I really need this video.

  • Effects not working? "Could not complete your request because of a program error?"

    Hey guys&gals - I have always had this problem when working in RGB/CYMK modes - can anyone help me with that?
    More more importantly, now I am getting in in Grayscale mode as of this morning.
    I run Photoshop 6 V 13.1.2 x64 and just updated it this AM.
    Effects are crucial for my job, so I need this fixed asap!!
    I have tried the ctrl, alt, shift start up to no avail. Restarted, shutdown my PC as well.
    Please advise!
    Thanks,
    blaqgranitelaser

    Found the places I was supposed to - now what? Photoshop isn't crashing... doesn't give me any info other than a box saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." And I have no choice but to click OK. This only happens when I try to use the layer effects in any color mode. Originally it was only in RGB/CMYK but now also happens in Grayscale.
    I'm not technologically savvy - I know what programs I use, but that is all.

    It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
    The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon.

  • When I try to save a photo, I get error message Could not complete your request because of a program error.  What's wrong?

    I edit a photo and when I click Save As, I get error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error."    I exit Elements, try again, same error. 
    In past I had this problem but it resolved when rebooted PC.  This time, PC reboot does not help.

    What's wrong?  Any suggestions how to fix this?   Anyone know what the program error is

    Please mention your PSE version and underlying OS.
    Also, it would be of great help in resolving the issue if you can upload a snapshot of error message.
